The boat slips away from Monty’s at Coconut Grove as the city shifts from sun to incandescent grid; the Miami skyline tilts like a pocket mirror and the bay picks up each light. Onboard, the breeze nudges hair and camera straps, speakers hum, and the captain eases the throttle so passengers can watch the shoreline’s choreography — yachts, pylons, and neon façades that seem to float on dark water.
